Methods to be implemented in northern Haryana

The proposed project would be implemented in northern Haryana and is expected to benefit nearly 75,000 farmers.

It proposes to sustainably intensify crops and the cropping systems for sustaining and enhancing production at a much lesser cost by adopting climate resilient methods in the state.

It aims to meet the goals without deteriorating the soil health and maintain the flow of environmental services.

Selection Basis

Farms were selected based on several factors

Official release states that some areas in Haryana weren't well equipped with structures for water storage that resulted in low crop productivity.

Reportedly, farmers also rely only on the ground water for fulfilling the water demand that reduced the ground water levels.

The areas, where the project would be implemented, were selected according to the availability of water for agriculture, nutrient imbalance, residue burning.

Beneficiaries

35% of overall beneficiaries would be women

The project's target beneficiary would be Haryana's farming community, in which about 35% of the overall beneficiaries would be women.

The project's objective would be fulfilled through several activities like identifying and targeting various climate-smart interventions in targeted villages according to farmers' bio-physical and socio-economic conditions.

The capacities of the stakeholders would also be enhanced for implementing and sustaining the climate adaption strategies.
